It seems that sportnews first are the ones who reported in is mccarthy.

Despite their artcile saying
"At this point, the club is unable to confirm the identity of the player involved in this tragedy as family members are still being informed"

 they have named him, with no thought of these family members that have not been informed, not to mention if it wasnt mccarthy.

The website sprouts so much crap that i didnt think my opinion of them could get any lower, but they have just lowered the bar even further.

what a discraceful poor excuse for a media organistaion they are.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Tragic :( I remember seeing my old man fall off a decent size balcony when I was a kid. Luckily he landed feet first and escaped with a broken leg.

RIP John. Feel really sorry for his family and his girl friend who moved over to SA with him :(
